authority sucks; so does marijuana's public image

[GrinKyle]

"Obviously" I have done things to try to change their mind. The first week it happened that was all I was talking about, and both my parents are flaming liberals, too. I kept quoting internet evidence including no long term effects, its non-addictiveness, and they won't have it. They're more focusing on the idea that it's illegal and that legal troubles could prevent me from going to college... there's no way to argue with that. Its true.

They also say that having weed can slow emotional development because when you're bored, you can just turn to weed... therefore you're not learning how to deal with boredom (and any other problems that everyone goes through) because the problem is immediately eliminated by weed.

There's truth to that. However, I was only a weekly smoker, so I didn't rely on weed for fun.

Secondly, I'm 18 anyway, so they should give me the choice of how to use my time. I think the only valid point they have is the legal issues. I'm seriously considering just saying "fuck you guys" and choosing to smoke. The only problem that might create is that my car is in my dad's name, so they could take it away from me.

I don't think you understood what I said... SITTING DOWN with parents and TALKING to them, and having shit printed off, being ready to counter anything they say, even the argument for it being illegal.. theres arguments for both sides every time... just throwing out stuff like you said in arguments isn't the way to do it.... but what do I know... I wasn't in the same situation just years ago.

My aunt got drug tested at her work and is now randomly tested more often. Now that she cant smoke, she has turned to alcohol instead.

thats shitty.

Hah my parents were super liberal too, yet still would not listen to a word I said about weed.

It seems daunting since you have lived with your parents your whole life. Just move out, its easy, all you need is a job doing around twentyfive hours to thirty a week and find a apartment with flatmates. Once youve done it you wont ever want to go back to living with your parents again.

I can guarentee that your parents arnt going to revoke their financial assitance for college. They want you there bad, their threats otherwise are just bluffs

Refuse the tests...

Just don't take them...

Flip it on them tell them you are not a junkie and there is no reason for drug screenings.

There is no reason because there is just WEED in you System "Things could be a lot worse Mom and Dad"

Get it?

Then if they push the issue still just blow it off and don't take the tests or just piss dirty and come and go as you please. Your parents are not going to put you out on the streets So Puff Puff Puff Fuck it!!!! They will get used to it....

Your going to college it is not a distraction. Do not try to convince them that you are smarter from Weed. Tell them its your way to unwinde and maybe they will understand someday....

Or just respect your parents suck it up and realize you have the rest of your life ahead of you... Take the summer off and smoke double the first few months back @ school....

I would just BLAZE it up:thumbsup:

Good Luck GL420:jointsmile::jointsmile::jointsmile:

So are they just piss testing you with one of those pharmacy style kits or whatever? If so, I can't imagine they stand there and watch you like you're in jail or something. Save up a nice handle of clean piss and you'll be straight. Could save up just two or three days worth and you'd have more than enough before school.

Stay high.

My dad does stand there and watch me like I'm in jail. Otherwise I would have tried putting a drop of visine into it because I heard it works also.

::sigh::

I wonder when the next time I'll be able to smoke in peace will be. College will present opportunities that I'm assuming will have at least some level of paranoia. Then after I graduate and am living on my own, the job I get might test for that. People say 'don't worry, you have your whole life ahead of you to smoke pot.' But I don't know if that's true!

dude are you serious? college is like prime opportunity to smoke! Are you staying in a dorm? It's pretty easy to smoke and not get caught there, especially if your roommate is cool.

You should probably just quit worrying about it like it's the end of the world. Its no big deal if you can't smoke right now, just wait a couple months until you go off to college then you'll have plenty of opportunities to smoke. Just be careful and don't let it affect your grades.

I'm sure you probably think about smoking all the time, thats probably a big part of your problem. You just need to keep yourself occupied with other things so you don't think about smoking. Thats what i've been doing lately since i haven't been able to smoke. It's been about 2 weeks now and I really haven't had any urges or anything, its just will power really. I use to smoke like 24/7 for 9 months plus i had been smoking for about 7 years so i know how it feels when you have to quit something you love haha.
